Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of constructing subjective imprecise
probabilities using qualitative and conflicting pieces of information (arguments) as
evidence.We propose formulae for the calculus of imprecise probabilities and show
that the probabilities obtained reflect the indeterminacy of the subject, faithfully
quantify the support offered by the arguments and constitute previsions that are
mathematically coherent in the sense of [Walley, 1991].
